Problem - religion in general is a clever meme.
An ideology that controls people's reproduction can survive quite well. especially when it believes to be persecuted and claims underdog status (thus winning more supporters... funny thing human nature).
These people don't believe in birth control, but are subject to the same sexual desires as the rest of us (no surprise - we're all human).
So they'll breed more than the contraception-using, abortion-supporting atheist rationalists amoung us.
What should we do? i suggest we try to outbreed them. or neuter them.
iOS users don't _need_ it. they _want_ it.
perhaps when they can't get it without jailbreaking, they'll realise that Jobs is why they can't have nice things.
VLC is (in my circles i guess) easily the most used media player on the mac platform, and probably the PC one as well.
these are editors, techies, designers, lay people (clients), and kids.
i think (hope) VLC has some negotiating power with apple.
or it could force apple to fix quicktime... if that's the case, MISSION FUCKING ACCOMPLISHED.
the fact still remains that if any other company mis-manages something, they get owned.
you really think apple is being persecuted and it's your mission to defend them?
apple gave up "underdog status" years ago, but the fans still defend them to the end. sad.
the black iphone4 wasn't made of gorilla glass... just regular tempered glass.
that (and the flawed design) is why they are even easier to break than iphone 3's.
apple fans: get a sense of humour.
you see windows users defending a _company_ tooth and nail? apple's lawyers don't work for free you know.
i guess you're one of those people who walk out of a movie just because they didn't pay in the first place?
napoleon dynamite was a very good film. but everything from hollywood is only enjoyable after a good many beers (i recommend this for movie cynics, as it'll make the most spincock of films totally rock)

i'm imagining your mental map of the world as having four countries: USA, England, France (where the Trrrsts come from) and Asia.
